Like a fine wine, these cops just get better with age. Try telling this lot they're too old for the job. Brian Lane (Alun Armstrong), Gerry Standing (Dennis Waterman), Jack Halford (James Bolam) and their bullish boss Det. Supt. Sandra Pullman (Amanda Redman) have not given up on the old cases they are involved in nor on their abilities to solve them yet. Mixing nose-to-the-ground, old-school detective work with a fresh take on troublesome cases, the veterans investigate a range of unsolved crimes from the apparently racially motivated attack on a young Asian bride, to the mystery of the unidentified torso found in a forest populated by wild boars. Will they succeed where others have failed? Or will the burden of all the years begin to weigh down on them? The eight episodes of Season 2 originally aired in 2005 on Britain's BBC1 channel.
